Book Review: "Mind Wars"

Mind Wars
 
A new book, Mind Wars: Brain Research and National Defense by Jonathan D. Moreno receives an insightful review from Richard Thieme at Counterpunch.com.
 
Quote from the article:
 
Steven H. Miles, M.D., the author of "Oath Betrayed/Torture, Medical Complicity, and the War on Terror," states that he is often asked if he fears for his life because he discussed public documents, thirty five thousand pages of them, which reveal that medical complicity. That he is even asked such a question, Miles says, "is an epiphenomenon of being a torturing society. A torturing society is a society that is abraded by the process of dehumanization. In that process, we essentially create our own mirrored netherworlds."
